As a Kobe hater, he was actually teammates with Kobe!

"drop!"

As the whistle blew, the referee threw the basketball into the air.

The two teams responsible for the jump ball were Zhou Ze and Dwight Howard.

In addition to the player's reach and jumping speed, the jump ball also depends on luck.

Although Zhou Ze's jumping speed has been visibly improved compared to the beginning of the season, there is still some gap between him and White Howard. In addition, his arm span and height are not as good as Howard.

Howard touched the ball first and passed it to the second-year starting point guard Devin Harris.

NBA player Harris is the fastest dribbler in the world. He crossed the court with the ball in 3.9 seconds (the length of an NBA court is 28.65 meters), setting a new Guinness World Record.

But Chris Paul, who was defending him, did not speed him up. It has to be said that some of Chris Paul's small moves did have a good delaying effect.

As a temporary teammate, Zhou Ze suddenly felt that Chris Paul was a little delayed...

"Fuck! Is my bottom line so flexible?" Zhou Ze immediately stopped thinking about this and complained to himself.

The sophomore team didn’t rush the fast break, but instead slowed down and played positional defense.

Dwight Howard, who was eager to prove himself to fans around the world, seemed to have forgotten his previous scars and wanted to choose to go low and try to single out Zhou Ze.

"Coward, if you have the guts, don't pass the ball!" Zhou Ze started his trash talk mode while pushing Howard almost to the high post.

"Hmph, Zhou, you're nothing but a gigolo dunk king. Without Maria Sharapova, you can never win the slam dunk contest!" After receiving the ball, Howard first responded to the trash talk unwillingly, and then started his poor singles.

Howard first tried to play with his back to the basket, using his body size to push Zhou Ze, but the effect was very poor. Except for the first fierce hit, which made Zhou Ze retreat half a step, the second and third times were like a toy car hitting the rear eight wheels, and Zhou Ze did not move at all.

Howard was forced into a corner, using his left foot as the axis (central foot) and trying to use a sinking step to push Zhou Ze away, but Zhou Ze not only stood firmly, but also took position in advance before Howard exerted force, raised his hands high, and used his more powerful strength to make Howard rebound.

"drop!"

As Howard moved his pivot foot, the referee whistle sounded.

"Carrying the ball is illegal!"

"Dude, I haven't even started defending hard yet, and you're already traveling?" Zhou Ze, after causing Howard to travel, naturally didn't miss the opportunity to dish out trash talk.

...

The freshman had the ball, Chris Paul was gesturing outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, Zhou Ze first set a screen for Danny Granger on the left wing, but unfortunately he failed to catch Andre Iguodala. The 198cm tall Iguodala played as a "power forward" in the sophomore lineup, and Zhou Ze immediately followed suit. This sudden start without any warning scared Howard.

"When did this bastard's explosive power become so strong?" Howard thought to himself.

Chris Paul made a pass through the gap between the players to Zhou Ze who was following closely. One has to admit that Paul's pass was really accurate, much better than his teammate Smush Parker.

After Zhou Ze received the ball and took a step, he glanced at Dwight Howard behind him and found that he was in his "blocking area". Zhou Ze did not force it. After passing the ball, his body suddenly fell down, and it seemed that he was about to take off from the ground. With just this fake move, he tricked Howard, who was anxious to block Zhou Ze, into jumping up. Then, with a "bang", Zhou Ze took advantage of the time difference and completed a slam dunk when Howard fell.

Zhou Ze's offensive skills under the basket and the proficiency and realism of his fake moves have improved rapidly, even though he has not received any special training in these areas. But as the saying goes, you have never eaten pork, but you have seen pigs run.

In the one-on-one duels and elbowing with Kobe, Zhou Ze's grasp of offensive timing has undergone a qualitative change compared to the beginning of the season.

After scoring the goal, Zhou Ze laughed at Howard and said, "Dude, where's your brain? Did Chris Paul eat it? Hahaha!"

Although Zhou Ze couldn't handle Dwight Howard's defense alone, after all, this idiot's physical fitness and running and jumping abilities were not inferior to his own except for his strength.

But Zhou Ze has two star point guards from the 05 class who keep feeding him the ball.

In the mid-transition, Zhou Ze saw Deron breaking through with the ball, and he ran back to the bottom corner three-point line. Howard not only did not notice it, but also kept trying to block Deron.

Deron made a no-look-pass and passed the ball to Zhou Ze in the corner. The latter received the ball, raised his hand and took a three-pointer, which hit the target.

After this shot, the score came to 13 to 4.

Led by Zhou Ze, the first-year recruits are already 9 points ahead of the second-year students.

Howard, who had failed in three consecutive singles, didn't know if his brain was stuck in the door, but he actually wanted to force Zhou Ze in the low post again. Howard gritted his teeth, tensed his muscles, and desperately used his back to push Zhou Ze.

Seeing Howard's outburst, Zhou Ze couldn't help but feel soft-hearted. Was he going too far with this top draft pick, the hope of Orlando's rise? So, Zhou Ze pulled the bench out for Howard.

"Pfft!"

Howard lost his balance and fell flat on his face. The moment the basketball slipped out of his hand, Zhou Ze picked it up and made a long pass to the eyebrowless hero - Charlie Villanueva.

The latter received the ball and performed a fast break slam dunk, 15 to 4. Four minutes into the first quarter, the freshman team's lead had reached 4 points.

The sophomore immediately requested a timeout. After falling, Howard slumped to the ground, waiting for his teammates on the court to help him up, but to his embarrassment, his teammates on the court ignored him.

The smile on Howard's face suddenly became stiff, and in the end he could only get up from the floor by himself.

His sophomore team is not the Orlando Magic. You keep wanting to play one-on-one in the low post and don't give anyone a chance to perform. Why?

The worst thing is, you didn't score a single goal.

...

...

After the timeout, the game continued and both sides made substitutions. The sophomore Delonte West replaced Ben Gordon; the freshman replaced Deron Williams with Little Potato Nate Robinson.

After coming on stage, the first thing Little Potato did was to high-five Zhou Ze. Judging from his facial expression, Little Potato was quite satisfied with Zhou Ze defeating him and winning the slam dunk contest last night.

"Hey man, that idiot will probably want to single me out later. I will hold him back. When he throws the ball blindly, you can block him with a powerful shot." Zhou Ze leaned close to Little Potato's ear and whispered.

After hearing this, Little Potato nodded repeatedly and looked at Zhou Ze with gratitude.

Little Potato, whose real height is less than 175cm, knows that if he wants to stay in the NBA, he must get enough exposure. Naturally, Little Potato is trying his best to block the center who is highly favored by the league.

Just as Zhou Ze guessed, Howard continued to show his poor low-post skills. Under the suppression of Zhou Ze's absolute strength, Howard looked extremely clumsy. Forced to do so, Howard chose to force a shot. Zhou Ze, who was in fierce physical confrontation with him, could not jump very high.

But at this moment, a short and strong figure suddenly appeared!!!
